VR Sankar Cheela is on a continuous journey of self-discovery and transformation. He believes that personal growth begins with the ability to understand oneself—and in that journey, reconnecting with Mother Nature plays a profound role. His life philosophy is grounded in simplicity, reflection, and the pursuit of a meaningful existence where personal, social, and environmental well-being are deeply interlinked.
Through his passion for sketching and colouring, Cheela finds a space for self-expression and inner clarity. These quiet, creative moments allow him to pause, observe, and interpret the world around him—helping him align his thoughts, values, and actions. For him, art is not just a hobby, but a mirror that reflects his own transformation and the evolving relationship between humans and the natural world. He finds immense value in travelling, not merely as recreation but as a way to expand perspective, understand diverse cultures, and absorb the beauty and wisdom of the environment. These experiences fuel his belief that connecting with people, places, and nature is essential to developing empathy, responsibility, and resilience.
A firm believer in work-life harmony, Cheela emphasizes emotional well-being and purposeful living. Whether mentoring students, supporting peers, or engaging in community programs, his efforts are always rooted in compassion, clarity, and a desire to contribute positively to the world.
In his professional role as an Associate Professor at MVGR College of Engineering, Andhra Pradesh, he naturally brings these values into education. Over more than a decade, he has guided learners not just in environmental engineering, but in becoming thoughtful, balanced individuals who can respond to the complex challenges of today’s world. Cheela’s life reflects a deep commitment to growth—of the self, of society, and of the planet. His work, art, travels, and relationships all stem from a central belief: that when we align with nature and our true selves, we grow in the most meaningful and sustainable ways.
